common variable immunodeficiency, antibody production, recurrent infectionsAbstract
We present a variable common immunodeficiency case in a young male patient with a long history (9 years) of recurrent gastrointestinal and respiratory infectious processes, despite the different therapeutic schemes, with diagnostic evidence of low levels of IgG, IgM And IgA; aiming to make a comparison of its evolution in function (at least 2 standard deviations below the reference values for his age) and at least one other Ig (IgA or IgM) and a reduction or absence of antibody production. This entity is considered infrequent in terms of incidence, although it is often inadvertent due to the predominance of its effects. Clinically it is manifested by the presence of recurrent infections with preponderance of the respiratory and gastrointestinal. From an aetiological point of view, its genesis is controversial, but low levels of immunoglobulins and a reduction or absence of antibody production are all described.
